Mass Effect Shepard Rises.
After his talk with Anderson shepard sighed after all Anderson had done for the alliance and that prick Udina just cast him aside life wasn't fair, he sighed and turned to the group by the airlock Tali caught his attention and he chuckled she was bouncing on her toes eager to rip into the Normandy. He made his way over and entered the airlock, the VI announced his return as the decon chamber ran it course and the door into the Normandy opened, he stepped through and turned to the group " so Garrus what do you want to do in between mission," he asked " well im good at calibrating weapons systems," he rubbed his chin and spoke "well we do have a MAKO if you want to have fun with that?" he said " yes commander that will be fine." he nods and turns to Wrex but before he can speak Wrex spook " I will just find a quiet spot I cant really do much except kill." he nodded " ok what about you Tali?" he watched as Tali bounced and said " im a Quarian give me some scrap metal and some element zero and I will have it making jumps and flying round," he chuckles " so engineering then?" he sees Tali nod " right I will get you all escorts to show you to the med-bay for a check up and then I will see you after that." he walks to the intercom and presses the button " kaidan please report to the airlock to show our guests to the medical bay." he waits around until kaidan comes and takes the group away and decides to head to his new room and change out of his armour.
He entered Andersons old room and looked around this wasn't right Anderson should be sitting at his terminal filling out this form or another. He slowly took his armour off and placed it on the life size mannequin, once all of it was off him he looked himself over his body was a mess of scars but it was his arms and legs which were the worst, were his implant were the doctors had to reinforce he entire arms so his veins were slightly different colour than normal the same for his legs, but it was a small price to pay being able to be a solider at the end of the day that's all he'd ever known death was his CV he couldn't do anything else. After routing through the draws he found a simple black T-shirt with a red stripe on one arm and black pants. After looking round his new room he turned around and left heading toward the cockpit to see joker, " shame about captain Anderson survives a hundred battles only to get knocked down by back room politics" joker says as a greeting he nods " yeah I feel as though im stealing this ship from him." he says and joker replies " wasn't your fault sir this crews behind you 100% just keep your ass out the fire." he chuckles and decides to give the crew a speech " Normandy crew this is shepard I wont lie to you crew this missions going to be tough, Saren knows we are coming he wont make this easy on us but I promise you were ever he goes well follow, some of you may have noticed that there are aliens aboard, but humanity needs help to defeat Saren and his geth we cannot do this alone, if any of you have problems with that then please leave now everyone on this ship will be treated with respect now lets go kick Saren's ass ." he closes the link and speaks to joker " set a course for Artemis tau not sure which cluster so well have to scan each one" joker nods and cracks his fingers " aye aye sir" he turns to leave " lets get this bird in the air" he walks away towards the stairs after a short trip in the elevator he found himself in the cargo bay which was empty he looked at his Omni-tool and realised it was just after third watch so everyone will be asleep, he decided to kill some time and work out.
He was hot and sweaty but that didn't stop him for pulling his chest toward his knees and lowering himself back down he repeated it again and again, he stood up and took his T-shirt off and started to run through his melee starting at the basics and working his way up to advanced fighting techniques. He didn't know how many hours past but he found himself startled by a soft cough he turned to see Tali watching him "oh hey Tali didn't know you were awake," he spook as he wiped his face on a towel "well I havent been asleep yet your ships just amazing, he size of your drive core is incredible I can see why humans are so advanced before my pilgrimage I was repairing a old tug now im standing on the most advanced ship in galaxy and I have you to thank," she said happily he chuckled " no thank you if not for you none of this would be happening, now do you want to join me in some hand to hand?" he asks he watches as she seems to hesitate " john can I ask you a question?" he nods and gestures for her to continue " are your arms and legs cybernetic?" she asks he looks at his hand for a moment and nods " yeah they are I will tell you about it some time but for now lets see what them powerful legs of yours can do." he replies and enters a battle stance she looks at him and replies cheekily " ok your on you big beefy bosh'tet." she does a quick stretch and he cant help but look at her bum as she touches the floor and notices his staring at her rear and speaks sultry " hey bosh'tet see anything you like?" he quickly tears his eyes away and looks away until he hears a charge and running feet.
